Yacht Club

The Yacht Club Resort is a Siamese sister to the Beach Club Resort. Both share the common theme of turn-of-the-century New England. The resort's brightly colored clapboard exteriors with gingerbread details look like a well-cared for club on Martha's Vineyard...albeit a great deal larger. The Yacht Club side is a bit more so, but both resorts tend to the formal side. Hardwood floors, wainscoting, and brightly polished brass nautical knick knacks and decor, all lend themselves to the sea-side themeing.

The Yacht Club Resort is well-known as one of WDW's premier hostelries. The resort is located just a short walk from Epcot and directly across from Disney's Boardwalk and adjacent, of course, to the Beach Club Resort. This provides many options for meals and recreation right in close proximity to your hotel room.
